Outline of Final Research Achievements

This comprehensive research project of Western Classics Ancient Philosophy examined the concept of justice in Ancient Greek Civilization, by focusing on Plato's theory of justice. The project members read many academic papers at international conferences inside and outside Japan each year, and published many articles and books both in Japanese and English. In particular, we organized the international conference "Freedom and the State: Plato and the Classical Tradition", in Oxford, UK, in August 2012, and the international symposium "Plato and Rhetoric", on the Hiyoshi Campus of Keio University in April 2014. At both conferences, we provided important opportunities of discussing this topic with scholars from all over the world. With these achievements, the project has shown that the Platonic studies in Japan have established a platform for international academic activities in this field.
